Jamie Cartwright’s start to his chub campaign just keeps getting better after landing yet another impressive fish at 7lb 7oz!
A boilie wrapped in matching paste presented on a 10lb braided hooklink did the trick for the former Drennan Cup champion, fishing a stretch of the Great Ouse – a venue that recently produced his previous chub of 7lb 3oz.
Jamie likes to use a large Specimen Landing Net rather than a shallower match style net to allow him to safely rest fish in the margin after being landed. “By simply pushing the end of the landing net handle into the bank you can allow the fish to rest while you sort out your unhooking mat, sling, and scales,” he explained.
This fantastic capture earned Jamie a weekly Drennan Cup award in Angling Times on the 15th of December 2015.
